When i reverse engineer, my db table columns of type float are reversed engineered to pojo with type java.lang.float as opposed to the object java.lang.Float. Is there anyway to reverse engineer to the object Float?

The primitive has assignment troubles when the column is null in the table row.

Will cause the reverse engineer strategy to use objects instead of primitives or native types.

yes, use java.lang.Float if you want java.lang.Float and use flot if you want float.
